For any fan of Bowling For Soup, and indeed any fans of great storytelling through song in general, Jaret Reddick’s Heartache and Hilarity Tour was like opening the vault door to an unearthed goldmine. From stories such as how Val Kilmer unwittingly promoted an album with a song mocking himself on on prime time US TV through to songs being inspired by those who are sadly no longer with us, it was Heartache and Hilarity in the truest possible sense of the words.

With Bowling For Soup having released a whopping seventeen albums over the course of their career (and that’s without side projects), one Heartache and Hilarity Tour has barely scratched the surface of the stories that can be told. Therefore Jaret Reddick is delighted to be bringing Heartache and Hilarity back to the UK for a second round! Heartache and Hilarity Too will take in five shows across the UK in Mid September 2018. The full details of the dates can be found below:

Praise For Heartache and Hilarity 2017 Tour

“While the songs go down a storm, it’s the between song lapses that really make tonight special, as Jaret talks through the creative processes and inspirations for some tracks. This wasn’t just a gig – Reddick proved himself a consummate showman and a truly humble, likable guy. Lovely stuff.” – Punktastic

“The show isn’t just starting to finish laughter, Jaret is laying himself bare, getting personal and at times, quite emotional which made for a truly engaging, inspiring show.” –  MOSH / Hit The Floor

“There can be no doubt that everyone here tonight has been a part of something incredibly special. Truly a staggering performance to behold, from beginning to end.” – Rock Sins
